No. https://www.patspulpit.com/2023/10/5/23905185/patriots-jc-jackson-legal-issues-resolved-nfl-trade
Apparently it's been resolved though and all he had to do is pay a fine so there's probably not anything blocking him from traveling.

Why would any of the players be staying at "the team hotel" on Saturday 11/4, when the team was playing a home game on Sunday 11/5? Is team lodging and related curfews typical for the night before home games?
The thing I find most odd about this is that it's been a "Top Headline" on ESPN for hours. A fringe starting corner on a 2-7 football team with 17 tackles on the season being left behind on a road trip isn't even "below the fold" news
It is when one of your largest viewership markets is the fanbase of that 2-7 team.
What, do you think the majority of the fine people of LA or Houston are spending hours perusing ESPN.com at work?
Lots of those clicks come from the Boston sports market (aka, all of New England).
Thanks much t4w. It makes sense, so as to confirm health of players, do team walkthroughs all day Saturday, but I would think that would all take place at team facilities for home games, and then players go to their homes in the area for the fabled "good ol' fashioned home-cookin'". Makes total sense that the team would want stricter control and confirmation players didn't decide to take liberties Saturday night before a Sunday 1 PM game. It just never occurred to me that they did it that way.
I think those headlines are generated by your internet history. If you browse a lot of Boston sports stuff, you get that.
whoa, mind blown.
Anyway, as to the actual subject this all seems to track with Jackson's history, as others have alluded to. Was still more than ok with the trade though
Not in the main “headline stack”. That’s an editorially curated thing.
ESPN does a surprisingly small amount of implicit, behaviorally-based targeted content. It’s all largely derived from explicit preferences (eg the lead items in your ESPN app feed being prioritized by your selected favorite teams).
So it really is that today’s headline stack editor thought the Jackson story is top 10 newsworthy. And it’s likely generating the clicks to validate that decision. Otherwise they’d have removed it by now.
Also... nothing is happening today... other stuff in there is like... "DeVito may start", Tannehill will try to help Levis", Jake Paul will box scrub" "low end ACC QB will redshirt"
Just a slow day.
Just a slow day.
Every tweet about it sounds worse lol.

The fact that San Diego let the story slip about the GM literally apologizing to the team for signing Jackson and then giving him "so many chances" and the notoriously tight lipped Pats just allowing their dirty laundry to become front page news on ESPN regarding the same guy, in like a week long period, should tell everyone that JC Jackson is probably not long for this league, never mind the team. Everyone knows about the reckless driving warrant that he just got through, but he also had an armed home invasion case in Florida when he was in college. He does not seem to be a very good dude.
JC Jackson cost the team nothing in trade capital (sunk cost anyway), so no reason to keep him around. Unclear why he is even on the 53-man roster at this point.

Patriots’ CB JC Jackson was active today, but did not play against the Chiefs. All Bill Belichick would say about Jackson was that, “he wasn’t available.” Jackson’s agent, Neil Schwartz, said tonight that his client is dealing with mental health issues.
